Double-A TrentonFirst Game (2-1 win over New Britain)This was the continuation of yesterday’s game that was suspended in the top of the 9th due to rain. Not much happened today, Gerardo Casadiego recorded a K to end the top of the inning, and Matt Carson singled home PJ Pilittere in the bottom of the frame after PJ singled and advanced to second on a Carlos Mendoza walk. See yesterday’s DotF for the stats…Second Game (5-1 win over New Britain)
Ramiro Pena: 2 for 3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB
Noah Hall: 0 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – 1 for 17 since 3 for 4 game in organizational debut…
Shawn Garrett: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Carlos Mendoza: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 E (fielding)
Justin Christian: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – last SB was 9 games ago, what gives?
Matt Carson: 4 for 4, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI – he’s clearly been the best hitter on the team this year, so why is he still buried in the 8-hole?
Jason Jones: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K – it’s ironic how the guys performing well this year are the Brett Smiths and Jason Jones’ of the organization, not the Ross Ohlendorfs and Steven Jacksons and Tyler Clippards…Michael Gardner: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Beam’s been injured. I guess his slipped by everybody because of the Yankee injuries.

Actually… the beat guy says that Beam was injured on May 3rd. Hughes was put on the DL that same day. So that’s why Beam’s injury wasn’t talked about…

Thanks for the info Nathan. I should really start checking the beat writer blogs for the affiliates…

But like I said, I haven’t really missed Beam. They probably should have traded him this offseason while his stock was high.

Steven Jackson is clearly struggling with a lot of things, namely his control. But he is suffering from a .355 BABIP… where is the excellent control he had last year when we walked 2.71/9 IP. This start bring him up to 3.86 for the season. The strikeouts i expect to go down because of the tougher league, but what’s up with the control?
